Bread Fail

My friend, Amanda Adams, makes homemade wheat bread.  She uses a live yeast starter and has taught me how to do it too.  I was supposed to take a few months of just feeding my yeast baby before trying out the bread, but I just couldn't wait that long.  I guess what's frustrating is that I have never been this bad at bread before!  I fail every time.  It's driving me crazy trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong!  

It turns out I need to use wheat that is fresh (not 10 plus years old).  Also, hard white wheat works better than red wheat.  So many details I didn't even know.  Well, I'm still failing.  I think I'm going to hang out at Amanda's house to see her do it and figure out what I'm doing wrong!  I'm excited to figure this out!
